About DeSoto Memorial Hospital
At DeSoto Memorial Hospital, we understand that healthcare is personal and we only get one chance to make a good first impression. Our goal is to provide every member of our community with the highest level of healthcare services and exceed your expectations. We have spent over $22 million since May 1st, 2006 on the latest in medical technology to enhance and expand the services we offer to our community. We are continuously recruiting the most qualified physicians to provide services at our state of the art facility. Five new physicians have joined our medical staff in recent months, including Dr. Fadi Kayali, Dr. David Kaler, Dr. Howard Saslow, Dr. Michael Wei, and Dr. Tom Kartis. In order to better serve our community the Board of Directors has authorized the completion of; three new surgical suites, 10 bed Post Anesthesia Care Unit, 16-bed Emergency Department, and 32 private patient rooms.
In an attempt to better meet the needs of our community, in 2008 the Hospital hired new physicians for the Emergency Room. The new ER physician group has become part of the Hospital family and blend with our existing medical staff. Here at DeSoto Memorial Hospital our top-notch Emergency Department physicians and staff attempt to have a 2 1/2 hour turnaround time for patients visiting the ER. Dr. Steven Mishkind is the medical director of the Emergency Department and is responsible for evaluating and enhancing the services we provide. Providing Emergency Care of the highest quality in the shortest possible time is our goal. Our Emergency Department team, in cooperation with all of our other departments, has designed a system to get patients seen quickly and efficiently, allowing us to greatly minimize excessively long ER wait times.
DMH is growing alongside our community and will continue to provide our community with the newest technology available. Some of our onsite laboratory analyzers utilize "space shuttle" technology to analyze blood and urine specimens so that we can better serve our community.
Since the Board of Directors have entrusted the day to day operation of the Hospital to me, my only direction is to make decisions based on one simple premise: "If it is good for the Hospital, it is the right thing to do." I take every success and every failure personally, and I want to know when we fail to meet your expectations. DeSoto Memorial Hospital can and should be your healthcare provider and the primary source of healthcare in our community.

Sincerely,
DeSoto Memorial Hospital, CEO
